In Memory of Ray Charles

In Memory of Ray Charles

Today is Ray Charles Day in Georgia.

Today is the anniversary of the day the Georgia legislature rectified the wrong they did to him by banning him from playing in Georgia.

Ray was one of the most popular icons of music in our lifetime, and what a hard and tragic beginning he had.

If anyone has not seen the movie "Ray" yet, I recommend you do.

Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles is so well done that his Oscar for best actor is certainly justified.

One good thing about Ray's life, as ironic as it is, is that now Ray can once again see.

As of June 10, 2004, he is able to see again and is once again united with his brother George.

We'll all miss you Ray!

R.I.P.
